Singles

Destiny is the third studio album by The Jacksons, released on 17 December 1978 by Epic Records. After the disappointing Goin’ Places, the brothers fought for and won the right to produce the album themselves. The result included the classics “Blame It on the Boogie” and “Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)”. The album was certified Platinum in the U.S. and is widely cited as the moment the Jacksons reasserted creative control.
